“Minnesota State Mankato supplies its students with countless valuable opportunities—whether it be starting a business with your Integrated Business Experience classmates in a low-risk environment, leading 30-40 new students as a Community Advisor during their transition to college, or joining a club or organization that presents critical values, beliefs, and support.”

Merriam-Webster defines gratitude as the state of being grateful. We are grateful for your support of Minnesota State University, Mankato. All gifts, large or small, make a positive impact on our students. Thank you!
